The role - Brand Account Management Intern

Our Brand Account Management team is responsible for managing the existing retail brands in our retail assets which include major shopping centres such as Bluewater in Kent and Trinity Leeds, and designer outlets such as Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth. We strive to build strong working relationships with some of the best retail brands in the UK, understanding their needs for retail space and supporting them throughout the life cycle of their stores within our assets.

The role of the Brand Account Management Intern is to support the Lifestyle Brand Account Management team who are responsible for supporting a diverse and exciting range of brands within food, homeware and gifting sectors (what we call ‘brand category’). You will spend time understanding this brand category and how it is currently represented within our centres and the general retail market, and then help us find new concepts and brands for our centres. You will spend time out in the market, online and on social media to learn more about these areas, and present new brand opportunities for the team to consider as new leads for our centres. You will learn how a new brand lead progresses through our ‘lease to cash’ process and provide support to the wider Brand Account Management team on specific customer projects.

As Brand Account Management Intern, you will learn about retail, building relationships with brands and how the leasing process works across diverse types of retail real estate. You will get to travel around the UK and be part of a fun and passionate team. You will gain an understanding of a depth of retail data and insights that underpins how landlords and retailers drive performance.

We’re looking for someone who has a love of retail and particularly independent and growing brands. You would be excited by the idea of scouting out new opportunities in an area you’re passionate about. You would have the confidence to present your ideas, and you will be supported to build your presenting skills throughout your internship.
